9/9 And memo indicates that not all members of Judicial Conference attended the breakfast. Bottom line: Judge Boasberg's comments revealed colleagues on D.C. District Court had bias against a litigant. That was and is extremely newsworthy. Judge Srinivasan can take it from here.

JOEL KOTKIN: Why the South is Winning. “For much of America’s history, the South has been a laggard, a poor region weighed down by intense racism and reactionary politics, lacking both industry and newcomers, foreign or domestic, to imbue it with dynamism and energy. But that’s changing — big time. Far from singing romantic paeans to Jefferson Davis, the Confederacy’s president, or celebrating his (blessedly) ‘lost cause,’ the South increasingly embraces the very attitudes and policies that once made the North dominant. . . . Overall, the southeast quadrant of the country is now the most dominant economic region, and since 2018 has produced almost all the country’s population growth and half its new jobs, according to the Texas Stock Exchange.”

ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT WOMEN DO ALL THE EMOTIONAL LABOR IN A RELATIONSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A WOMAN: “Never heard of mankeeping? I hadn’t either but apparently it’s the hip new topic after the word was coined last year by a postdoc at Stanford.”
Well, postdocs at elite universities are surely a source of relationship insight. “The term, coined by Angelica Puzio Ferrara, a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University, has taken off online. It describes the work women do to meet the social and emotional needs of the men in their lives, from supporting their partners through daily challenges and inner turmoil, to encouraging them to meet up with their friends.”

DON SURBER: Harvard, Trumped. “After a decade of persecution culminating in an assassin’s bullet clipping his ear, Trump is smiling, optimistic and playing hardball. He is using all the levers of government this time to Make America Great Again. A day after Europe fell into line, Harvard did the same.”

THREAD:
When the US faced an intractable enemy that refused to unconditionally surrender after it had been militarily defeated, we bombed Tokyo, leaving over 100K dead and over 1 million homeless. When that didn't work, we nuked two cities.
I am at best ambivalent about these actions,…— David Bernstein (@ProfDBernstein) July 29, 2025
I think that Israel has the same moral obligation to the citizens of Gaza as the United States and Britain had to the citizens of Dresden, or Tokyo.
